"I dream of a burning cord,
That binds my heart to this maze,
Of discard & pain & discord,
Let me feel the Asterion's gaze" ('Through the Abyssal Door')
Following up 2020's highly acclaimed "Melinoë," US Black Metal band AKHLYS present their latest work of abyssal Black Metal terror. "House of the Black Geminus" features six intricate compositions, further refining and evolving the inimitable nightmarish sound that mastermind Naas Alcameth (AORATOS, NIGHTBRINGER) is renowned for.
The album is now officially released and can be listened to directly on Bandcamp or our YouTube channel:
"House of the Black Geminus" is another masterpiece of subterranean craft which has received high praise from the metal press and fans alike:
"The monumental dynamic sound gives this Black Metal vision almost apocalyptic dimensions. Highly recommended!" (Scream Norway)
"This album combines uncompromisingly hard riffs with mesmerizing melodies, incredibly intense blast beats with an icy industrial feel, and hysterically hypnotic vocals with true Ambient passages - awesome, truly awesome!" (Legacy Mag)
"If you revel in dissonance, extremity and bombardments of true evil; then this record is definitely for you!" (Nattskog)
"This album represents a bold and innovative effort from a band that is clearly comfortable with making us uncomfortable." (Metal Epidemic)
"House of the Black Geminus" is available on CD, vinyl, tape and digital via our EU, US and Bandcamp shops. Various merch designs accompany the album.
